Scent Description
The Tabac scent harkens back to a time when men were meant to be restrained and fragrances were meant to be pleasant and gentile. The scent is somewhat stamped in time, evoking an earlier generation. Although its a Fresh-Aromatic, a cousin to a Fougere, it is much more floral with strong contributions from the Geranium, Petitgrain, and Lavendar notes, which combined make for a complex and extremely flowery bouquet. To call it your granddad's perfume would be unfair, but to call it classic, bordering on dated, would not.
